Perfection is eternal; it is only the resistance of the world that makes it progressive.

All our life, all our work must be a constant aspiration towards the supramental perfection.

Experience on the Night of 12 April 1962

( After several weeks of grave illness which threatened the Mother's life. )

Suddenly in the night I woke with the full awareness of what we could call the Yoga of the World. The Supreme Love was manifesting through big pulsations, and each pulsation was bringing the world further in its manifestation. It was the formidable pulsations of the eternal stupendous Love, only Love. Each pulsation of the Love was carrying the universe further in its manifestation.

And there was the certitude that what is to be done is done and that the Supramental Manifestation is realised.

Everything was impersonal, nothing was individual.

This was going on and on and on and on.

The certitude that what is to be done is it done.

All the results of the falsehood had disappeared: death was an illusion, sickness was an illusion, ignorance was an illusion something that had no reality, no existence. Only Love and Love and Love and Love immense, formidable, stupendous, carrying everything.

And how to express it in the world? It was like an impossibility, because of the contradiction. But then it came: ``You have accepted that the world should know the Supramental Truth- and it will be expressed totally, integrally.'' Yes, yes...

And the thing is it done.

(Long silence)

The individual consciousness came back: just the sense of a limitation, a limitation of pain; without that, no individual. And we set out again on the way, sure of Victory.

The skies are full of the songs of Victory.

The Truth alone exists; it alone shall be manifested. Forward!

Glory to Thee, Lord, Supreme Triumpher!

(Silence)

Now, to the work.

Patience, endurance, perfect equality, and an absolute faith.

(Silence)

What I am saying is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but words if I come it to the experience.

And our consciousness is the same, absolutely the same as that of the Lord. There was no difference, no difference.

We are That, we are That, we are That.

(Silence)

Later I shall explain better. The instrument is not yet ready. This is only the beginning.

Afterwards Mother added:

The experience lasted for at least four hours.

There are many things which I shall say later.

			With the Divine's Love is the power of Transformation. It has this power because it is for the sake of Transformation that it has given itself to the world and manifested everywhere. Not only into man but into all the atoms of Matter has it infused itself in order to bring the world back to the original Truth. The moment you open to it, you receive also its power of Transformation. But it is not in terms of quantity that you can measure it - what is essential is the true contact; for you will find that the true contact with it is sufficient to fill at once the whole of your being.
